Angry F31 M sport drivers airbag

Hi,

Had my m sport drivers airbag stolen.

Found a few for sale online but was just wondering if anyone had anything on here.

Thanks in advance.

Luckily you lost only a/b and not thw whole car ...
Process to remove a/b in a hijacked or unlocked car is 10sec business..m

Still not quite sure.

The car was opened without being forced. They even locked up after themselves!

Stolen airbags are quite common in the e series cars apparently. BMW are still claiming that the f series cars are impossible to break into though!

True. Not sure how they did it if they cloned a key why not take the car too? I guess an airbag is easier to get rid of/ harder to trace.

I've heard they can sit across the road bombard the car with thousands of codes to gain access so could be that.

I've now got an old school steering lock on there!
